Oh I didn't answer the questions. Duh.

- How often do you notice yourself stim?

Several times a day. I'm sure I probably do it more often than I notice. When I'm out in public, I generally notice when someone gives me an odd look or asks me why I'm doing that. And then I realize I didn't notice I was doing anything until the person said something.

- How long do you think you were stimming before you noticed?

I have no idea. A few minutes probably.

- When you notice yourself stim, do you stop?

I usually don't.

- When you stop, how long does it take you to start again (that is, when you do not start again on purpose)?

I can stop, and tell myself I'm not going to do that, and within a couple of minutes catch myself at it again.
